Completed Lace Mat

This is a gorgeous pattern that I enjoyed so much, I'll be starting another one soon! Jon did a great job at re-diagramming this antique pattern! It was fun to think of all the other tatters around the world who were making the same doily I was here in Illinois. I'm still not 100% sold on the color choices that I picked, but like I said, I'm going to start another one soon. Thanks for all the great feedback on this doily and may all your tattings be blessed! Have a great weekend!

congratulations Allison, very nice. The colors might look a bit odd when your mat is laying on the white background, but how does it look if you put it on the coffee table, or the some other background? appliqueing it to a fabric ~ pillow or..... might change how you feel about the colors too.

Thank you for all the lovely comments! Ladytats - you are right! when it sits on a wood trunk I have it look much better! Then the brown looks really nice. This was a great doily! Can't wait to make another one!
